The Senior Vendor Program Manager role will be responsible for working with our strategic league partners and vendors to execute a functional program that enables scalability, faster time to market, and increased development capacity to provide Clubs with more flexibility to innovate within the MLB Ballpark app.    

The MLB Ballpark app Vendor Program is designed to support Clubs’ interest in experimenting with fan-facing or market-specific features and functionality that are not otherwise available in the MLB Ballpark app using third-party vendors. In this role, the Senior Vendor Program Manager will be responsible for overseeing and streamlining the integration of third-party vendors into our state-of-the-art app.  You will work alongside our Certified System Integrators (CSI) partners, who are trusted third-party resources that will facilitate and support MLB in the review, approval, onboarding, launch, and maintenance of third-party vendor integrations.

The Senior Vendor Program Manager will not only help maintain and ensure compliance with the end-to-end process from new vendor requests to implementation but also proactively work to iterate and evolve to ensure a streamlined, transparent, and efficient process.   Additionally, the Senior Vendor Program Manager will be responsible for API and Reporting documentation, certification and/or analytics, project management duties, and delivery of key milestones and related stakeholder communication, working directly with various departments across the league office, Clubs, CSIs, and applicable third party vendors. 

As a Senior Vendor Program Manager, you will be working on multiple high-exposure revenue-generating projects for Clubs within the MLB Ballpark app.  This role requires exceptional organizational skills, strong communication abilities, and a keen understanding of technical and political nuances. You will be the driving force behind a seamless integration process, managing hundreds of integrations across 30 baseball teams and ensuring timely and successful outcomes.

  • Develop and implement a robust and efficient process and program standards for screening, approving, and managing third-party integrator requests.

  • Manage relationships with Certified System Integrators, setting clear expectations and ensuring that they adhere to established timelines and quality standards.

  • Lead all aspects of reporting related to vendor solutions, including but not limited to establishing baseline requirements and enforcing compliance with vendors, providing real-time or near real-time reporting of transactions or engagements, as required by our vendor agreements.  This also includes maintenance, dashboard visualization, analysis, and compiling insights and recommendations based on data and analytics using provided tools. 
  • Other program-based operational tasks as defined by the supervisor or leadership.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
